MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.
Prosperity of the Descendants of tn,
Bounty Mutineers.


From the PHILADELPHIA Record
An interesting account of visit to Pill
cairn Island, the home of the descendants
of the mutineers of the famous ship Bounty,
is given by Capt. Scribner, of the clipper
ship St Frances, now lying at Almond
street wharf, which stopped at the island
on June 8, while bound from San Francisco
to this port. 1t is very rare that a visit is
paid to the children of the famous mutt
neers, though several instances are re-
corded where the islanders have boarded
vessels at anchor off their rocky coast This
solitary island is situated in lat. 25' 3 q
south, long. 1907 s east, and has but one
landing place, Bounty Bay, where Capt.
Scribner and his family were landed in
boats manned by the islanders. The island
Is about two and quarter miles long, and
It's volcanic peaks can be seen many miles
at sea. In the year 1890, while the English
war ship Bounty was homeward bound, the
crew mutinied, and the officers were put TO
death. The rebellious crew took cha rye of
the vessel and landed at Tahiti, but after
ward went to Norfolk and Pitcairn Islands
In 1925 Captain Breechy while cruising the
South Pacific in an English warship, dis
covered the home of the mutineers. The
leaders were taken to England and punished
for their crimes
The first person to greet the visitors was
Simon Young, grandson of the leading
mutineer and the patriarch and principal
man of the island. Capt Scribner describes
the place as paradise peopled with hand
some and well developed women of sterling
character. The entire population numbers
Ill souls, two thirds of whom are females.
The disproportion is caused by so many men
leaving their homes on whalers, and when
once they get to the settled portions of the
globe they seldom return to Pitcairn. A
consignment of clothing and other presents
from the people of San Francisco were given
to the islanders from the St Frances, after
which all hands repaired to the little chapel
where one of the dlisky bellies entertained the
crowd with music from an organ sent out as
a present from Queen Victoria on an
English warship. Each family has a sep
arate tract of land for it's own use. There is
also storehouse matched with palms from
the bread-fruit tree, and its contents are
divided among the families in proportion to
population by the patriarch, Simon Young.
A complete change has been made in the
form of worship of the islanders, mission
airy sent by the Seventh-Day Adventists
from San Francisco having converted the
entire population from the Church of Eng
land

Circular from Hubbard, Price g. Co.

'NNN''F
New YoRK. Sept. l4.-Quotations in Liver
pool advanced one point during the day, closing
firm. The opening was quiet, with sellers at
about last nights prices. The Manchester
GtdriidR says that the prominent feature of
the market is its firmness. Quotations are rare
ly higher, but the market is stiff. Trade is
hindered by the adherence of buyers TO the old
limits, and the flrmneSs prevents many transac-
tions. Yarns are officially quoted very firm
and cloths steady. The market here showed
strength this morning, and an advance of five
points took place in consequence of the insecure
feeling of the local short interest. When the
weak shorts had been supplied, the heavy re-
ceipts eXerted their usual influence and the ad-
vance was lost in great part The Southern
markets are easing slightly this afternoon UNI
der the pressure of the receipts. Spots here are
quoted steady. Speculation is to great eX-
tent out of the market, and as the short interest
of the Southern operators shows no sign of being
hquidated, prices do not respond for any length
of time to temporary stimulus. Conserva-
tive and far-Sighted operators here, neverthe-
less, are not wholly in sympathy with the short
side, and some of the hitherto most prominent
bears are trying to buy cotton, believing that on
each decline purchases are judicious. The mar
ket has the appearance of being dressed for this
purpose; notably. the inside positions and at
some points quiet absorption of contracts is
probable In view of this possibility short sales
should be made for a turn only.

Architecture in Waspland.
Fl,on N.e Gardenels' ChronicI.


Whatever may be the general experience
in regard to the number of wasps prevalent
this season, certainly they are abundant
enough in some places. At Maiden Erleigh,
and close to the kitchen garden, nest was
found to have been made in a stack of turf
soil This was smoked with sulphur, then
carefully dug out, and was found to be the
largest ever seen there, for it was about
thirty inches in circumference and con-
tanned literally thousands of wasps of great
size. Oddly enough, at the Erlefgh Cottage
Garden Exhibition prizes are offered for the
finest wasps' nests, these being, of course,
shown i'll close cases or glasses.
The one from the turf bed was put on to a
board. and under a close fitting hand-light,
which was secured to the board. and so ex-
hibited, easily taking the first prize. On
one side portion of the outer case of the
nest, which is in all cases round, had been
accidentally broken away, and thus specta-
tors were enabled to inspect the internal
structure of the curious dwelling. The tiers
of comb ran across the nest horizontally.
but somewhat followed, and not more than
three-quarters of an inch apart: indeed
thickness of comb and intervals seemed to
correspond with exceeding accuracy. The
wasps were far larger than were those
found with better and much smaller nests
The labor of making this nest must have
been great, and it would be interesting to
know out of what materials it is con-
structed. The following out of so great
space in the soil must also have been great,
and it seems evident that every grain of the
soil must have been carried out and
dropped away, as no evidence of such an
excavation was externally visible.

Diseases Contracted From Lower
Animals"
From the 81. James Gazette

From the 81. James Gazette.
The GLOVER animals" as we are pleased
to call them, have a way OF revenging them
selves for some of the injuries they receive
from the higher animal, man. They con-
tract diseases in mild form and communi-
cate them as virulent epidemics to their
masters. The COW has a slight attack of
scarlatina-so slight that it hardly causes
her ACKNOWLEDGEMENT a deadly infection
breaks out among those who drink of her
milk. From report which has just been
compiled by DR.. George Turner for the local
government board it appears that diphthe-
ria may be one of the diseases which we
catch from animals. Pigeons suffer from
Group, horses and swine from ''strangles, y
lambs from sore throat, all which affections,
DR. Turner thinks, may develop into diph-
liberia in human beings. The worst offender
is the domestic cat, which is very liable to
suffer from a cold in the head and chest,
and to pass it on in much worse form to
children.

FINE IMPROVEMENTS.
The Most Extensive Pork-Packipg Estab-
ishment Upon the Coast.

The Most Extensive Pork-Packipg Estab-
ishment Upon the Coast.
Mohr q YORK. butchers and pork-pack-
ers, have just completed some extensive
improvements to their place of business on
] street, between Tenth and Eleventh.
They have entirely remodeled their bust
ness property, and built three story brick
addition, 40xi00 feet, on the rear of the
main building, extending back to the alley.
The capacity of their smoke houses has
been increased so that five carloads of
hams, or 100000 pounds, can be prepared
for market at once time. In the rendering
department two large caldrons are used to
melt the lard, which is then carried by
pipes into two tanks, where it is refined,
and then conducted by another pipe into a
refrigerator, wLere it is canned and stored.
The capacity of this department is about
5000 pounds of lard per day. The new
sausage machine just completed will cut
1000 pounds of meat each day. There are
three refrigerators in the establishment
one already mentioned, which is used for
lard-the other two are used for the whole
sale and retail meats; the former is 40x60
feet and the latter is 15x20 feet. The tenn
perature in each can be reduced to a North
Pole condition, which during the warm
season is decidedly frigid. A new engine
of seyenty-fve horse power and new
boiler are now being placed in position to
operate the ice machinery, elevators etc.
This establishment is one of the largest
pork packing concerns on the Coast. With

pack from It's to 200 hogs per day.
